A few years ago the feds were all up in arms about crews resetting CBs willy-nilly. Now you can reset a CB once if the Captain determines if the CB has an significant impact on safety.
Usually when something goes wrong, first thing is to check for CBs out. Now the CB that was popped on the LOT 767 was in a hard to see spot that might be blocked by a flight bag. (another reason for EFBs!)

My opinion, some guys bring way too much crap by the CB panel.

The biggest problem the crew might have was the decision to undertake a ETOPS flight after the loss of the main hydraulic system on the 767. Had they decided to abort the flight they would have had 10 hours to figure out why the gear did not come down. More then likely they would have dropped the gear right away to help burn off fuel. Had they had another problem enroute such as a engine failure or even medical abort they would have had a very complex situation. As far as the checklist directing you to check CB's you can't write everything into a checklist. There has to be some degree of common sense. Anytime a electrical system fails the first place you look is at the breakers if things are not time critical. I once had a 767 turn into a big 152 after a critical breaker popped. The first place all 3 of us decided to look was the breakers.

We do have more 767s and 757s, along with A330s and 764s though. But why have more SUPER PREMIUM widebodies when AF, KLM, and Korean can do all of the other flying for us, even if some of those pilots make more than we do!

That's true, we are the "largest REGIONAL, in THE WORLD!!!"

Speaking of Korean, What do they pay their contract Capts?
My understanding is they have a "commuting" base in the US. I had heard a number (a big #), but I wanted to see if it was true.

Jamie Baker is out of his mind. Wonder if anyone remembers his $8 price target for AMR?
Don't get me wrong, I'd love for any of that to be true. It is just that Jamie forgets the reasons AMR went bankrupt and that other market trends encapsulate the real world that airlines' customers live in. If our management said this Eliott Spitzer would move his base of operations to the Pink Pony, run for Solicitor General and throw Ed Bastian in jail.
Wall St. has not common sense or accountability ... this proves it.
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Investment firm J.P. Morgan raised its financial outlook for airlines on Thursday following the decision by American Airlines parent AMR Corp. AMR +21.84% to reorganize under bankruptcy. "We are modeling for a 10% AMR capacity cut, which is expected to divert 6%, or about $1.4 billion of revenue," the firm said in a note to clients. "This equates to 1% to 3% revenue improvement per competitor in 2012." J.P. Morgan raised the 2012 profit outlook for US Airways LCC +7.63% to $2.26 a share from $1.72, and a new price target of $12.50; United Continental UAL +8.01% 2012 EPS was upped to $6.97 a share from $5.71, with a price target of $45; and JetBlue Airways JBLU +8.01% EPS was raised to 60 cents a share from 39 cents, with a price target of $9. The price target for Delta Air Lines DAL +5.60% was raised to $17.50.

Jamie doesn't expect Delta at $17:50. He expects his year end bonus. That's the problem the 99% have with the 1%'ers. They lie.

I wonder if the LOT crew will have to give their medals back and relinquish their hero title status. I guess that CB could have popped when they attempted to use the ALT GEAR EXT system. Hmmmm As Judy Tenuta would have said, “It could happen.” I’ll bet they wished they had checked the CB’s. System knowledge. That is probably the first serious incident/accident we’ve seen since everyone’s training has been dumbed down to almost zilch.

So for those of you who park at Marta, wife's coworker had their catalytic converter stolen while parked their. Cops said it's happening there frequently but Marta police won't let them set up cameras.
Pretty hard core.
